So, too, have been the roles of parenting and grandparenting for 40 million-plus survivors of each abortion. "I thought that because it was legal it might be OK," said Myra Myers of her abortion 33 years ago.

But his wife broke down after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) came to Mr. Alito's defense following intense questioning from Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) about the nominee's membership in a controversial club at Princeton (see "Grilled Alito").
